Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

The correct answer is
A, B Only

To solve this question, we need to analyze each statement in the context of the hydrogen atom spectrum and identify whether they are correct. Let's break down each of the options:

Understanding the Hydrogen Atom Spectrum

In a hydrogen atom, the spectrum consists of several series of lines corresponding to different electron transitions between energy levels. Each series converges to a limit at a specific wavelength as the electron transitions to higher principal quantum numbers.

Key series include:

  • Lyman series: Transitions to \(n = 1\), \textit{in the ultraviolet region.}
  • Balmer series: Transitions to \(n = 2\), \textit{in the visible region.}
  • Paschen series: Transitions to \(n = 3\), \textit{in the infrared region.}

Analyzing Each Statement

  1. A. The maximum wavelength of the radiation of Lyman series is \(\frac{4}{3R}\)
  2. B. The Balmer series lies in the visible region of the spectrum
  3. C. The minimum wavelength of the radiation of the Paschen series is \(\frac{9}{R}\)
  4. D. The minimum wavelength of Lyman series is \(\frac{5}{4R}\)

Conclusion

Upon examining each statement, options A and B are deemed correct based on analysis of scope and wavelength transitions.

Thus, the correct choice is: A, B Only.
